The confidence, the walk, the swag.. all of it is backed up in her play. She's aggressive on both sides of the ball, she can be your main scorer or facilitator. She plays for a high school that went undefeated in the regular season.. and she was a key part in that. In only her 2nd year in the state, Lewis has made a huge name for herself. u003c/emu003eu003c/strongu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["444787"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eu003cstrongu003eu003cemu003eThe versatility of Ellis can't go unrecognized. Her ability to blend in any situation,but still be a stand out is what all college programs need. On both ends of the court the kid gives you her all, she doesn't quit, she doesn't stop. Defensively, she's a menace and can guard multiple positions.. Offensively she can score at all levels.. but doesn't overdue it. She scores within the offense. A talented kid who is going to be a key piece for a program. u003c/emu003eu003c/strongu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["326482"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eu003cstrongu003eu003cemu003eSincere plays much bigger than what she's listed, and she's much stronger than what she appears to be. She knows how to score around and in the paint, and also has the strong IQ to make plays in that low area as well. She's energetic, attentive and just locked in. You can tell from afar that she just truly loves to play the game.. and when you come across players like that, they can forsure change a team for the better.u003c/emu003eu003c/strongu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":627944,"_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Kearra Jones","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"12124","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Madison East (Wisconsin)","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"Illinois Legends","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eu003cstrongu003eu003cemu003eJones had a stretch of 10 games where she finished with … 18pts u0026amp; 10Reb, 13pts u0026amp; 10 Reb, 20pts u0026amp; 10Reb, 14pts u0026amp; 10 Reb, 19pts u0026amp; 10 Reb, 14pts u0026amp; 10 Reb, 21pts u0026amp; 10 Reb, 26pts u0026amp; 14 Reb, and 18pts u0026amp; 15 Reb.. That is nothing but consistency and energy, and that's what Kearra brings to the table. She is relentless on the boards, strong in the paint, and can score within the offense with no issue. Her upside is high, and that's due to clear skillset that she is, but also the high motor that is evident as well. Every program needs a kid who just wants to contribute in any way possible. u003c/emu003eu003c/strongu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6426133fcb68a"} /--> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/il_legends/status/1640807480186884102?s=61","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true,"align":"center"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/il_legends/status/1640807480186884102?s=61 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"center","id":627945,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/03/1593838A-CB37-4582-96FD-2F0150B42653.jpeg?w=992" alt="" class="wp-image-627945" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading {"textAlign":"center","level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center"><strong><em><br>Coach Josh will continue to add teams on all levels to the legends program while focusing on helping athletes attain maximum exposure and creating lifelong bonds that form as a result of competing in athletics. </em></strong></h4> <!-- /wp:heading -->
